[QUOTE="helenofcalifornia, post: 469096, member: 5170"] BackinBrown, even if you wanted to buy your own 3-pt. seatbelt and install it in your truck, UPS would not let you. That would be admitting some kind of liability or fault on their part. We had a driver with carpal tunnel who was willing to pay for power steering for his truck. Got all the diagrams, facts, figures, install instructions, UPS mechanic willing to do it. UPS said no, and he was off for several years with carpal tunnel. Easy fix, UPS would have to pay nothing, but by letting the power steering be installed would be admitting some form of responsibility, liability, etc. How many of us would have better shoulders if we had power steering like most U.S. drivers? Better knees with a first step into the truck that is not 21 inches high? Power steering, automatic transmissions and the lower first step are the best things to happen at UPS since "beer and pizza" in the 80's. The handrail is pretty good too. And everything Sober says about the seat belts are (is?) true. He may sound like a broken record to some, but he speaks the truth. If UPS really cared about safety, they would retrofit all trucks with the 3-pt. belt. And that's all I have to say about that. :happy2: [/QUOTE]
